Author's Notes

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.

If your toffee begins to get grainy, remove it from the heat and stir in 1 Tbsp of water until combined. Return to medium heat and stir every 2 minutes until it passes the drip test.

step 1

Line a baking tray with parchment paper.

step 2

In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the Granulated Sugar (1 cup), Unsalted Butter (1 cup), Vanilla Extract (1 tsp), and Sea Salt (1/2 tsp). Cook over medium heat, stirring every 1-2 minutes until the mixture is dark golden brown, (the color of peanut butter), 10-15 minutes total. (It may take longer depending on your climate, but don’t turn up the heat).

step 3

Once the correct color is achieved, pour the mixture onto the baking sheet. Immediately sprinkle the Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips (2 cups) over the hot toffee, and let sit for 1-2 minutes.

step 4

Once the chocolate has melted, spread it over the toffee and immediately sprinkle with Roasted Almonds (1 cup) and Sea Salt Flakes, if desired.

step 5

Place in the freezer for 15 minutes to cool completely, then break up into pieces and serve.
